A full well-laced pure white head over a very pale yellow gold body. The nose is biscuit malt and grain with some honey sweetness. Classic German malt and yeast combination with light citrus hops and added spice. A nice dab of clear honey in there too. Refreshing new world take on style.

Draft at Beertiwn in Toronto. Medium gold pour. Creamy white cap. Great lacing. Bright citrus aroma hints at lime zest. Flavor is more sweet citrus with an accent on lime. Grassy hops on backend. Tasty and refreshing.

Bouquet herbacé puissant sert d’entrée à cet olfactif délicat et tout en nuances. Des céréales craquantes se mêlent de la partie. Absence de fruité cependant. Liquide clair et doré, avec une mousse rocailleuse qui se maintient plutôt bien. Les herbes fraiches envahissent également le palais dès l’entrée de bouche et persistent jusqu’en finale et même au-delà. Les céréales craquantes sont légèrement miellées. L’amertume est franche, directe et puissante. L’équilibre céréales et houblons est assez juste sauf pour la finale où les houblons herbacés trainent en longueur. Le corps est moyennement mince et son effervescence vive contribue à rehausser son indice de buvabilité à des niveaux supérieurs. Il y manque quelques éléments du style et d’autres sont complètement exagérés, mais dans l’ensemble et malgré tout, cette bière est tout à fait délicieuse.

Can: Poured a clear yellow color Kolsch with a nice frothy white head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of buttery notes with some cereal and light floral notes. Taste is a mix of cereal notes with some light residual sugar notes, some buttery notes with a smooth floral finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable and super drinkable beer but maybe a touch too buttery for my personal taste.

Pours a hazy light golden colour with a small white cap, average stay and some little lace. Smells a little hoppier for the style, but eventually the grainy German cereal notes come out. The flavours a definitely stronger in hops with the grain lingering in the finish. Some citrus notes, mild herbal hints, even burnt grain. Not sure for the style, as has more of an unfiltered American Pale Ale feel with parts of a Saison.
